“Russia slammed the United States on Tuesday for allegedly using “unproven excuses” to justify military action in Syria and said Moscow is “seriously disappointed” by Washington’s decision to put off a bilateral meeting to discuss the crisis there.” RIA Novosti

Ironically (or not so much depending on how much you actually know about the history of this conflict), the man most responsible for creating the crisis in Syria, Robert “Salvador Option” Ford, US Ambassador to Syria and former master of death squads in Iraq, was one of the two US representatives scheduled to meet with Russian officials to figure out a diplomatic solution to the carnage that Salvador Option Ford is responsible for.

I guess someone figured that diplomacy wasn’t the sociopath’s forte.

“The US Department of State announced on Monday that a meeting between Undersecretary Wendy Sherman and US ambassador to Syria Robert Ford and their Russian counterparts at The Hague was cancelled” Press TV

Immediately, Ford took to posting pro-regime change comments on Facebook and Twitter and helped organize the foreign fighters being brought in from places like Libya and Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Once his involvement in the destabilization campaign became obvious to the Syrian government and bodies started to pile up, Obama brought him out of Syria and from then on Robert Ford ran the terrorist campaign from a safe vantage point in the State Department.

“The Salvador Option” is a “terrorist model” of mass killings by US sponsored death squads. It was first applied in El Salvador, in the heyday of resistance against the military dictatorship, resulting in an estimated 75,000 deaths.’ Global Research

So Salvador Option Ford was sent to Syria to destabilize the country through violence and terrorism after orchestrating the same kind of carnage in Iraq.

He put together the early stages of the terrorist campaign, back when the MSM was still trying to call the crisis in Syria a “revolution”

He is a bloodthirsty cutthroat in a business suit without a shred of human decency or anything that resembles a moral center. The word “sociopath” seems to fit the bill. But that’s OK; he wasn’t chosen for the job for his diplomatic skill set.

Robert Ford is what John Perkins describes as a jackal, someone brought in after the economic hit-men fail to bring about regime change through bribery and corruption. They use any means necessary to bring about the desired goal whether it is the pacification of an unruly populous or the removal of an unfriendly president. Terrorism and carnage is their stock in trade. It is their craft.

And now that we have a “chemical weapons” attack, Salvador Option Ford doesn’t have to actually sit down with Russian officials (who know damn well what he is) and negotiate a solution to the problem he himself created.

Scott,
Not we see the true reason for the Snowden psyop in a clear light.

To provide a pretext by which diplomatic negotiations of any sort could be broken off between the US and Russia.

Pepe Escobar has a piece out right now that states that Russia has concrete evidence that the rebels fired the CWs but – gee, shucks – it appears that since Snowden put a chill on US/Russian relations last month our leaders won’t be allowed to see it.
